Are you or your children competitive?

Competition should not be feared. It allows you to take risks. It teaches you to bring your best effort and manage your nerves. Competition drives us to learn at a faster rate and perform at a higher level. It helps you cope when things don’t go as planned and improves goal setting. You must play by the rules and win or loose respectfully. Most of all its fun, builds self-esteem and teaches commitment.

We will continuously be active in local jiu-jitsu tournaments and boxing competitions. When you develop a talent and work hard for a result, it feels great. We want you to experience success!

Everyone needs the skills to protect themselves!

Regardless of strength, size or previous training anyone can learn self-defense. These classes will teach prevention and techniques to prepare you for and stay safe in common real-world violent situations.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent.

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds.

Some of the highest qualified instructors in East Vancouver, Camas, Washougal and surrounding Clark County area.

I started wrestling in 7th grade and fell in love with grappling. I lettered in 4 years of varsity wrestling and ranked impressively in California state tournaments. Moved to Washougal in 1999 where I met Trevor Burnell (black belt Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu under Romolo Barros/Rickson Gracie) and started the journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In 2010, I competed and won the western states police and fire games boxing gold medal. I was a defensive tactics instructor for 9 years with the Department of Corrections. I have also coached Camas High School wrestling and thoroughly enjoy coaching my 5 year old's tee-ball and soccer teams. Married for 15 years, my wife and I have three kids, 14, 11, and 5. Jiu-Jitsu (MMA) has been a big part of our life for many years which I believe has instilled a level of competitiveness and wellness throughout our family. As our children grow it is rewarding seeing their own personal growth in the sports they enjoy. Life is busy but fulfilling. Currently I am purple belt in brazillian jiu-jitsu, FCFF's amateur MMA heavy weight champion and fighter of the year, Prime Fighting's Professional MMA heavy weight champion, and currently in the UFC.
